I’m actually privileged to be engaged on my tenth Summer season Olympic Video games in Paris. I’ve so many stand-out reminiscences from the Video games in knowledgeable capability, going again to the Seoul Video games of 1988 proper although till Tokyo 2020/21.
And, after all, my earliest TV reminiscences – of something – had been the Munich Video games of 1972, the place Mark Spitz received 7 golds within the pool, Olga Korbut’s charisma received hearts in gymnastics, and the great Dame Mary Peters took pentathlon gold for Nice Britain. All of that fired my childhood ardour for the Video games and my love of sport normally after I was only a child. So, the Olympics actually have formed my path in life and I’m very grateful for that.

Typically, if you’re on air in a studio, you might be residing and respiratory these “reside” occasions very intensely. There may be nowhere else you’d moderately be in these moments. So, to witness Sir Chris Hoy profitable his hat-trick of Observe Biking golds in 2008 was significantly particular. So too, Britain’s biggest gymnast Max Whitlock claiming Ground and Pommel golds inside a few hours in Rio. That has a vivid place in my reminiscence.
However for sheer scale, depth and strain, Danny Boyle’s Opening Ceremony at London 2012 takes some beating. I used to be so fortunate to be part of the commentary group that night time. I believe round 29m folks had been watching within the UK. In my thoughts, I can nonetheless put myself again into that commentary seat and see the occasions unfolding earlier than me.

Paris is much more formidable on this respect. Utilizing the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysees within the metropolis centre, and the Palace of Versailles simply outdoors, the Video games may really feel rooted inside a metropolis like by no means earlier than. The size of their Opening Ceremony on the Seine is really breathtaking. We’re taking a look at one of the technically and logistically complicated ceremonies – and broadcasts – ever undertaken.
In the identical manner that many people keep in mind these defining TV pictures of Barcelona’s outside Diving pool in 1992, to the Equestrian occasions in Greenwich Park at London 2012, I hope the particular pictures from the center of Paris will outline a fantastic and sensible Video games.
Who are you able to see coming away with a medal?
The place do you begin?! I hope and consider Staff GB could have a terrific Video games. Amongst the numerous medal prospects, let me provide you with a pair.
Tom Daley and Jack Laugher often is the talismanic figures within the diving group however be careful for our feminine divers this time! A British medal in Olympic Girls’s diving is lengthy overdue.

Now, step ahead 19 yr outdated Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix alongside together with her synchro companion Lois Toulson, springboard synchro group of Scarlett Mew Jensen and Yasmin Harper, plus the trailblazing Grace Reid. I get the sensation this squad may make a long-awaited breakthrough in Paris.
I’m additionally wanting ahead to seeing gymnast Max Whitlock attempting to create extra historical past. These will likely be his final Olympics, and he’s aiming to develop into the primary gymnast to win a medal on the identical piece of equipment at 4 separate Video games (in his case, Pommel Horse). He’s the double defending Olympic champion on this piece, and he has the category, the grace, and the expertise to make it to the rostrum one final time. Come on Max!
